Bible Question: Is the dependency of women upon men more of a cultural thing? How much authority shall the man have over the woman, if any? |
Bible Answer: The passages in Ruth that you are citing have a specific cultural context. The answers to your questions about women and their relationship to men cannot be fully answered based strictly on historical narratives. Look to the didactic teachings rooted in the law, the proverbs, and the epistles. 1 Timothy 5:16; 1 Timothy 5:18; 1 Corinthians 14:34-35; 1 Peter 3:6; etc. Note: God's design does not signify relative value. Every part placed in the mechanism of His eternal purposes contributes in an important and significant way to the operation of the whole. (1 Corinthians 12:21) |
